Why had literally nothing come up in the last three years proving that Trump\u2019s claims of election fraud were actually legit? Why hadn\u2019t Trump mentioned that such a report was in the works, say, before he was criminally charged in Georgia, and why did he still need an additional week for the \u201cLarge, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT\u201d to be completed? One possible explanation is that he was simply planning to present a bunch of lies. Why do we think this might be the case?
